    I for one am perfectly happy for Richmond to subsidize Demonland. :D Personally I find Richmond quite ignorable.

    The algorithm for which ads you get served isn't solely based on browser history. The advertiser might have certain search words that this site being an AFL footy related site match. Or perhaps the tigers are trying to convert non-believers. 

    The best way not to see any ads at all is to support Demonland by taking out a Subscription which removes the ads entirely.

    I agree that it’s wrong on environmental grounds to encourage any Tiger fan who wanders here to buy a membership. When those plastic cards go into the microwave after we give them a whopping on Anzac Eve, then we will surely be responsible for releasing all of those smouldering plastic fumes into the atmosphere?

    Aha! That explains why I only get ads for porn sites.

    I encourage everyone to click on it as many times as possible.  They can pollute our screens for free, but as soon as anyone clicks on it they pay money.  I’m sure we can ensure they make a loss in 2019

    I just subscribed, and I asked Admin how many Demonlanders there were and how many were subscribers. I was surprised by the response:

    "There are over 5,000 registered members of Demonland. About 280 are subscribers. These numbers don't take into account guests who visit the site but have never signed up. More guests are reading the site at any one time than members reading the site."

    It would be nice for the percentage of subscribers to increase to support the running of this site. I mean we all enjoy it, but only about 5% are financially supporting it. With a lifetime membership of only $60, that, for some of the younger ones on here will work out to be about $1 a year. Where else can you get such great entertainment for just $1 a year?

    I encourage everyone to sign up. I got horribly drunk a while back and attempted to buy a life membership, but the payment process glitched and it didn't go through. I couldn't change my mind when i sobered up as that would have made me feel, ..... dirty?

    Anyway, i feel slightly less  bannable with "Life Member" next to my name. Most likely a false sense of security, but i am happy to run with it :)

    If you can afford it, i think it makes sense to add it to your support of MFC. Life membership is a long time for most people. 

    *I expect Demonland to add an extra thousand or so likes to my total for this shameless plug

    Amazed there is so few members, more so sad. This is a great site for fans and regular readers and readers should show some support to Andy and subscribe.

     

    Surely the cost of servicing the Range Rover is not so much that we can’t have more members here...

    Happy to have signed up and to support Andy.   Also happy that when my wife looks over my shoulder at what I'm doing she doesn't see those annoying Dating site ads targeted at old people!

    I have subscribed before.. a couple of times.

    But then get hounded for some profanity which everyone does now...  but the site filter blanks them out. and they continue on without any land comments.

    I've been hounded by the likes of that whiny rhino, for daring to be different to his views...  I've been suspended/banned for daring to resist the ideas that treat women different to men, that they deserve more respect...

    I differ, after being abused and molested by that same gender.  And then get banned.

     

    I have already payed many times, including donating to resurrect Demonology...  when it was offline.

     

    I have subscribed, and without any income... no pension no dole nothing. no income of any sort with the interest rates.

    Living off the bank account, until I run out, of time.

    You were justifiably banned.

    Great site as we all know.

    Please support and every now and then send a donation to keep the wonderful work going.

    I find the match day threads particularly therapeutic.

    One only has to look at the podcast guests to understand the actual not to mention potential reach a site such as this can have.

    Thanks Andy and Nasher and all those who keep the site ticking over.

    PS: I found this site around 2001 or slightly after so it has become part of my MFC life. Most posters are courteous and it's great to get different views. Long may it prosper.

    I think when you consider the time and efforts that go into running a website like this one it makes sense to subscribe or donate. I've been on DL a long time and although I've had on-off periods on here it's always been there and I'm grateful for that.

    The site is run by great people and we are getting more and more brilliant content all the time with things like the podcast which has become a staple for me during the week. 

    Every bit counts, doesn't take much.

    Click on the ads and do your bit to waste their advertising budget.

    I initially read this as "the cost of servicing Range Rover" and thought that the post was something to do with the site's administrators dealing with one of Demonland's posters who seemed to require significant amounts of moderation.

    (People who have been on Demonland for a while will know what I'm talking about.)

    Haha I think $60 barely covers the cost of brake light bulb on a Jaguar

    I wish Richmond supporters had aphrodisiac qualities, then they could stop shooting  the real tigers and just 'go', the Tiger supporting ferals.   Win/ Win

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
